It is highly recommended to get an oil that is certified for your engine. Calls for LL01? An LL01 certified oil is recommended.
That being said, many of these specs overlap and are just fine to substitute for LL01 if you are interested, especially if you are conservative in your drain intervals. MB 229.5, Porsche A40, and VW 504/505 are pretty close to LL01.
I've used LL01 oils in MB's and 229.5 oils in BMWs (at my own risk of course).
